Chapter 1622 Qualifications [1]

August was now out in the wider world, but while he did have a decent amount of general knowledge from Damien's teaching, he was still relatively clueless about the more nuanced happenings and relationships between forces.

There was a lot going on in Arulion. It was a massive kingdom, after all. It was hard to notice its scale when discussing it since a majority of its land was filled with similar people doing similar things, but it wasn't the same everywhere.

Take the Aureat Clan of Golden Dragons as an example.

The original Golden Dragon was quite the promiscuous fellow, so it wasn't rare for there to be several Golden Dragon lineages throughout the world.

Every once in a while, people from these lineages would appear in Arulion, and the Aureat Clan accepted them in stride.

It was always good to have more people, at least, from their perspective, Because of their ancestor's nature, they were far more accepting of common people than their fellows of other Holy Clans.

Still, there was a strict process by which these people could enter the clan, and their bloodline needed to be properly proven. The Aureat Clan still needed to make sure they didn't let just anyone in.

It wasn't rare for Holy Clans to fight each other. They ruled this place together, sure, but they were also each other's greatest enemies and biggest contenders. Aside from the few who had alliances with each other, they were all on relatively bad terms.

The Aureat Clan had never experienced a traitor because their treatment of their own people was great. They made sure that anyone who passed their inspection was given the treatment of any other legitimate member of the clan, so they were particularly liked by their people.

And, nobody had slipped past the their defenses yet. Every single member of the Aureat Clan was a true member of the Golden Dragon Lineage.

Until now.

An individual had snuck into their clan, and that person wasn't a dragon at all!

Golden Dragons, known for their ability to handle fate, were a rare breed in this world. The Golden Dragon Clan of the lower universe was one of their last remaining branches in the outside world.

As such, they didn't get many new people anymore. When someone finally appeared, and their bloodline was proven as part of their clan, they were extremely happy.

They welcomed that person with open arms.

Except, the entire time, that person had only arrived at their clan for a single goal.

Rose Adelaire.

Originally, she came to Arulion to follow a lead about a treasure that could awaken Dante Void.

There was still a question about if it worked, and Rose wasn't sure if it was actually in the vault or if it was being used by one of the higher tier members of the clan.

If the Patriarch was in possession of it, she'd have an incredibly hard time stealing it away.

But, when it came to the vault...

'I'm almost in.'

Rose had created an elaborate plan that would allow her to take what she needed from the vault and disappear from Arulion without a trace.

For it to work, she had practiced creating dozens upon dozens of illusions that were indistinguishable from reality.

With weeks and months of practice, she reached a new height in her training, ascending even further through the ranks of Demigodhood.

'The time to strike...I should probably wait until the heir wars begin.'

That was when their defenses would be at their lowest. All attention would be focused on those young geniuses in their competition.

'Plus, the Ancient Dragons will all be gone.'

They, who represented the highest level of power under the 6 Holy Dragons and the Dragon Emperor, would be too busy facilitating the event to pay attention to their own territories.

But regardless of how many people she has to actually face, this would be the true test of her skill.

The illusions she made...

Could they really replace reality?

Could they fool even Supreme Gods?

Rose wasn't a fan of danger, but she was truly eager to find out.

And, if she could find a new lead that would take her somewhere magical, somewhere she could find her true purpose in life...

Well, the Aureat Clan specialized in fate, didn't they?

It was about time to see if that power could influence her too.
